Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Making Star Wars has an alleged synopsis of the next trailer, purportedly being shown at Star Wars Celebration in a few weeks. Scenes include a shot of Han, Leia, Artoo and C-3PO, a brief shot of Gwendoline Christie as the Chrome Stormtrooper guard Captain Phasma, a closer look at Kylo Ren's masked face, several shots of spaceships (including X-Wings duelling TIE fighters) and Finn holding a blue Lightsaber. Luke is allegedly not in the trailer, and there is a shot of Darth Vader's helmet.

SPECTRE

Mad Max: Fury Road

Orphan Black

Tatiana Maslany sat down with Buddy TV to talk about the third season. Here she is on how Sarah feels about the betrayal of Mrs. S. And Paul:

Mrs. S and Paul may be off Sarah's list, but is that permanently? It very well may be for Paul. In the season 2 finale, Mrs. S sat with Paul and watched as the military took Helena, and that's something that has "changed the game in terms of who Sarah can trust," Maslany revealed. "I think Paul was always somebody that Sarah was wary of, and at this point, he's really kind of sealed the deal on how she feels about him." So no more Hot Paul in Sarah's life for good?

On the other hand, Mrs. S' betrayal is "more complicated" because of what she means to Sarah. "Sarah had really started to take on this idea of Mrs. S being her mother, being part of her family, and being somebody she could trust," the actress explained. "This betrayal is so enormous [because] it forces Sarah into some of the most difficult decisions she's had to make so far on the series."

And here she is talking about more clone-intensive scenes akin to last season's dance party:

With more clones on the table, might there be an even more complex scene than the dance party from the finale? "There's some very cool clone scenes coming up," Maslany allowed, but she wouldn't say more. They do enjoy pushing the boundaries of what they can do with those clone scenes, so expect "more complex clone work this season," especially as they grow more comfortable with the technology used to make those scenes happen."

The Flash

Comic Book Resources has a recap of the news from the show's WonderCon panel. Here's Andrew Kreisberg on villains that could show up in season 2:

"I think we definitely want to meet the Mirror Master next year," said Kreisberg. "I'm sure Dr. Alchemy will show up at some point. And we've got one thing that hopefully people will lose their minds over."

"There's one villain that we may have already met, albeit in their civilian identity. Danielle Panabaker's Caitlin Snow has an alter-ego in the comics — the Firestorm villain Killer Frost. The actress said she's "really excited" about her character potentially following the source material and becoming Killer Frost. "You're going to see her sooner than you think," Panabaker said."

And here's the show's new sizzle reel shown at Wondercon, with some new footage from the last episodes of the season.

Doctor Who

Peter Capaldi is open to the idea of a Doctor Who movie:

I think [a movie] would be fun. I don’t know where they are on that officially, but certainly [the show] seems to be getting bigger and it looks so much like a movie now. The production values are so high that it looks extraordinary. So I think a Doctor Who movie would be great.

I told the [show’s] writers, don’t just write him mean, write him funny—because he’ll make any joke fly.

As ever, Doctor Who is a combination of complete daft silliness and loads of people getting slaughtered in the early evening. Tonally, [next season is] very much the same. Peter is getting stronger and more confident in the role.

iZombie

Comic Book Resources also has a recap of iZombie's WonderCon panel. Here's Danielle Ruggiero-Wright and Rob Thomas on the chance that Liv's Were-Terrier could show up:

The next fan asked about what one thing from the comics the panel would like to see make it into the show. "I want her to get a terrier really bad," Ruggiero-Wright responded. "If we can't have a '60s ghost, then damn it, there's going to be a dog."

"We do get a mention of a were-terrier," Thomas added.

And here's David Anders on Blaine's future plans on the show:

Getting into some future developments, a fan asked Anders if his character was planning a zombie racketeering business with his sale of brains. "He's got big designs on becoming King Z of the city by the sea," Anders said. "You're going to get inside his brains-dealing operation as the story goes along. Next week, in fact. You're going to meet some of his zombie henchman, too.

Forever

Finally, John Noble has been cast in the show as Aubrey Griffin, an antiques expert who appears in the season finale. Here's a description of Griffin and his character:

Through his numbers books, Griffin is seen by the contemporaries as a mythological mix of Indiana Jones and James Bond. Despite his tales of travel and history, few know that he is confined to a wheelchair—his life is limited to the safe confines of his affluent Central Park West apartment.

That all changes when a museum curator turns up dead, in her possession a Roman dagger. Griffin quickly concludes that there is far more to this blade than meets the eye—it’s the actual knife that ended the life of Emperor Julius Caesar. What’s more, the dagger contains a curse of death to any and all who come into contact with it.
